Equipment
Ingredients
- 4 slices Thick Cut Bacon, cooked, chopped
- 1 pound Brussels Sprouts
- ¾ cup Chicken Broth, low sodium (or veggie broth)
- 2 cloves Garlic, pressed
- 1 Tablespoon Butter
- ¼ teaspoon Pepper
- 4 oz Cream Cheese (about ½ of an 8 oz block)
- ⅓-½ cup Parmesan Cheese, grated
Instructions
Cook the Bacon
- Chop up the bacon and cook it in the Instant Pot using the Sauté setting. Remove to a paper towel to drain and set aside.
- Drain the grease from the inner pot and wipe it (be careful if the pot is hot).
Cook the Brussels Sprouts
- Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and rinse them in hot water. Then add them to the inner liner pot of the pressure cooker.
- Add the chicken broth, garlic, butter, pepper, and cream cheese.
- Close the lid and set the steam release knob to the Sealing position.
- Press the Pressure Cook/Manual button or dial, then the +/- button to select 2 minutes (3 minutes for very large sprouts or for a softer result). The pot will take a few minutes to come to pressure.
- When the cooking cycle has finished, Turn the steam release knob to the Venting position to do a Quick Release of the steam/pressure.
- When the pin in the lid drops down, open the lid and stir the Brussels sprouts until the cream cheese is smooth.
- Add the parmesan cheese and stir well.
- Add the reserved cooked bacon and mix it in.
- Serve hot!
Notes
This recipe can be doubled.
1. Don't double the broth, just increase by ¼ cup. Then, after cooking, you can add a little more if it is too thick.
2. Keep cook time the same.
